Metallic Nanostructures

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the fundamental aspects of metallic nanostructures. We firstly introduce the definition, classification, and historical background of metallic nanostructures. A summary of their novel optical, catalytic, and magnetic properties is provided in the next section. General methods for the synthesis of metallic nanostructures are then outlined, followed by the discussion of their morphological, structural, and compositional characterization methods. Finally, representative examples for controlled syntheses of metallic nanostructures are highlighted.
